The Doctor: Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the Fourth Dimension? Have you? To be exiles? Susan and I are cut off from our own planet - without friends or protection. But one day we shall get back. Yes, one day.

Ian: Let me get this straight. A thing that looks like a police box, standing in a junkyard, it can move anywhere in time and space?

The Doctor: If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds, and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?

Ian: Just open the doors, Doctor Foreman.

The Doctor: [To himself.] Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about...?

This is the first use of the question "Doctor who?" — by the Doctor himself, after being misaddressed by Ian.

Susan: [To The Doctor] I know these Earth people better than you, their minds reject things they don't understand.

Ian: You're treating us like children!

Doctor: The children of my civilization would be insulted!

Ian: Your civilization?

Doctor: My civilization.

Doctor: You think I want a rest?

Doctor: He thinks I'm a charlatan, my dear.

Za: My father made fire.

Mother: They killed him for it. It is better that we live as we have always done.

Za: He showed me how to sharpen the stones and trap the bear and the tiger. He should have shown me this, too.

Mother: So that everyone would bow to you as they did to him?

Za: Tell me what my father did to make fire.

Mother: I never saw him make it. That is all I know.

Za: Out of my sight, old woman. You should have died with him.

Mother: Za will never make fire.

Za: Put on more of the dead fire. (Hur adds ash, and Za rubs the bone between his hands again.)

Ian: The whole tribe should be watching. Everyone should know how to make fire.

Za: Everyone cannot be leader.

Ian: No, that's perfectly true. But in our tribe, the firemaker is the least important man.

Ian: We'd better keep an eye on him. He seems to have a knack of getting himself into trouble.

Dalek: You will move ahead of us and follow my directions. This way. Immediately!

Dalek: Stay in the light!

Susan: They don't believe me.

Ian: I think I should try to stand on my own now. (He pushes away Susan and Barbara and carefully balances) There. (He tries to take a step forward and promptly falls on his face.)

Ian: Yes. But just a minute. They have no pick-up or anything. And only the base of the machine touches the floor. How do they complete the circuit?

Susan: Batteries?

Doctor: No, no. I believe the Daleks have discovered a way to exploit static electricity. Very ingenious, if I'm right.

Barbara: What, drawing power from the floor?

Doctor: Precisely. If I'm right, of course. Now, what do we know apart from guessing how they are powered?

Ian: They're afraid of you because you're different from them. So whatever you do, it doesn't matter.

Dalek 2: We need radiation to survive. So we must increase our supply of radiation.

Dalek 1: But there is only one way to do that.

Dalek 2: Exactly. We may have to explode another neutron bomb.

Dalek 1: We do not have to adapt to the environment. We will change the environment to suit us.

Alydon (new Thal leader): There is no indignity in being afraid to die, but there is a terrible shame in being afraid to live.

The Doctor: My dear child! Haven't you realized what I've done? A few simple tools, a superior brain...

[Ian, traveling with Barbara and Thals, nearly falls at a sudden drop in a dark cave.]

Ian: No place for a quiet stroll, is it?

Dalek: We will examine your machine.

Doctor: No. Not unless you stop what you're doing. Otherwise I won't explain its secrets to you and its philosophy of movement.

Dalek: Now we know of the machine, we can examine it for ourselves.

Doctor: But you can't operate it without me.

Dalek: Every problem has a solution.

Alydon: I never fight against the inevitable, it's a vain occupation. But I would advise you to reconsider what you consider to be inevitable. It is amazing how often apparent defeat can be turned into victory.

The Doctor: I know. I know. I said it would take the force of a total solar system to attract the power away from my ship. We're at the very beginning, the new start of a solar system. Outside, the atoms are rushing towards each other. Fusing, coagulating, until minute little collections of matter are created. And so the process goes on, and on until dust is formed. Dust then becomes solid entity. A new birth... of a sun and its planets!

The Doctor: (Talking to Ian) You know, I really believe I have underestimated that young lady in the past, Chartow.

The Doctor: As we learn about each other, so we learn about ourselves.

The Doctor: We're always in trouble! Isn't this extraordinary - it follows us everywhere!

Marco Polo: On my travels to Cathay, Ian, I have come to believe many things I'd previously doubted. For instance, when I was a boy in Venice, they told me that in Cathay there was a stone that burned. I did not believe, but there is such a stone: I have seen it. And if stone burns, why not a caravan that flies? Birds fly; I have even seen fish that fly. You are asking me to believe that your caravan can defy the passage of the sun? Move not merely from one place to another, but from today into tomorrow, today to yesterday? No Ian, that I cannot believe.

The Doctor: Now, now, now, don't be absurd. There's not an ounce of curiosity in me, my dear boy.

The Doctor: Now listen to me, both of you. You've taken the lock of my ship and I want it returned immediately.

Sensorite 1: You're in no position to threaten us.

The Doctor: I don't make threats. But I do keep promises. And I promise you I shall cause you more trouble than you bargained for...

The Second Elder: These creatures, these Earth-people, are loud and ugly things! Why could we not have met them in the desert or in the mountains?

Susan: Grandfather and I don't come from Earth. Oh, it's ages since we've seen our planet. It's quite like Earth, but at night the sky is a burned orange, and the leaves on the trees are bright silver.

The First Elder: My mind tells me that you wish to see your home again, and yet there is a part of you which calls for adventure. A wanderlust.

He begins climbing stairs (leading into the warehouse) which appear to be unstable.

Ian: Careful, Doctor!

The Doctor: I'm not a half-wit.

A part of the wall of the warehouse is in such a state of decay that Ian falls through it, and is left hanging far above the ground clinging to some scaffolding. He manages to swing himself back up into the building, with the help of the Doctor. They are both panting.

Dalek: Why have the human beings been allowed to get so near the river?

Ian: Doctor, that voice.

Roboman 2: No explanation.

Dalek: Where is the Robo-control for this section?

Roboman 1: Not known.

Dalek: You will take his place until he is found. The human beings are to be taken to landing area one.

Ian: Daleks on Earth! Doctor, how did this happen?

Doctor: Leave this to me, dear boy. I think you'd better let us go.

Dalek: We do not release prisoners. We are the masters of the Earth.

Doctor: Not for long.

Dalek: Obey us or die.

Doctor: Die? And just who are you to condemn us to death? [sotto] I think we'd better pit our wits against them and defeat them.

Dalek: Stop! I can hear you! I have heard many similar words from leaders of your different races! All of them were destroyed! I warn you! Resistance is useless!

The Doctor: Resistance is useless? Surely you don't expect ALL the people to welcome you with open arms?

Dalek: We have already conquered Earth!

The Doctor: Conquered the Earth? You poor, pathetic creatures, don't you realise? Before you attempt to conquer the Earth you will have to destroy ALL living matter!

Dalek: Take them! Take them! [The Doctor and Ian are taken away] We are the masters of Earth! We are the masters of Earth! We are the masters of Earth!

Professor Dortmun: Obey motorised dustbins?! We'll see!

The Doctor has managed to break himself, Ian and Jack out of a Dalek prison cell

Ian: Doctor, you're a genius!

The Doctor: Yes, there are very few of us left. Now let's get out of here, and be crafty!

David Campbell: [Regarding the Daleks]: They dare to tamper with the forces of creation?

The Doctor: Yes, they dare! And we have got to dare to stop them.

Dalek: The work on the capsule is complete. The device is ready.

Supreme Commander: Good. We shall have one hour to leave when the device is fired. Am firing now. [The Bomb slides down its guide rails and stops when it hits Ian's barrier] The explosive device is on its way to the centre of the Earth. We shall go the edge of the mine workings and be picked up by the saucers.

The Doctor: During all the years I've been taking care of you, you in return have been taking care of me.

Susan: Oh, Grandfather, I belong with you!

The Doctor: Not any longer, Susan. You are still my grandchild and always will be. But now, you're a woman too. I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own. With David, you will be able to find those roots and live normally like any woman should do. Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David and not with a silly old buffer like me. One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye, Susan. Goodbye, my dear. [He dematerialises the TARDIS, which vanishes. David and Susan leave, Susan dropping her key onto the floor.]

[Ian and Barbara are perplexed about the Doctor deciding to take a nap rather than explore]

Barbara: Well, maybe we're going to see a new side to the Doctor.

Ian: Yeah, well, he isn't getting any younger, is he? You know, it's the first time he's been asleep during a landing. Barbara, I've got an idea he's getting a bit... [Ian mimes being old and senile, and Barbara laughs. The Doctor suddenly pokes his head out of the TARDIS doors]

The Doctor: Remember, I can hear what you're saying.

The Doctor[muttering to himself over his notes]: My writing gets worse and worse. Dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.

The Doctor[talking to "Koquillion"]: This used to be the people's Hall of Judgement. Fitting, in the present circumstances, don't you think?

The Doctor: You destroyed a whole planet just to save your own skin. You're insane!

The Doctor[after successfully fending off an assassin]: Alright? Of course I'm alright, my child. You know, I am so constantly outwitting the opposition, I tend to forget the delights and satisfaction of the gentle art of fisticuffs.

Ian: [to Vicki] Don't just stand there and scream, you little fool, RUN!

The Doctor: We're trying to defeat the Daleks, not start a jumble sale!

Barbara: We're not idiots! We want to go home!

Ian: Yes! Home! I want to sit in a pub and drink a pint of beer again! I want to walk in a park, and watch a cricket match. And above all, I want to belong somewhere, and do something! Instead of this aimless drifting around in space!

The Doctor: AIMLESS?! I tried for two years to get you both home!

Ian: Well you haven't been successful, have you?

The Doctor: How dare you, young man! HOW DARE YOU, SIR! I didn't invite you into the ship in the first place! You both thrusted yourselves upon me!

Barbara: OH, DOCTOR! STOP IT!

The Doctor: Oh, for heaven's sake! I've never heard such nonsense!

Barbara: Look. I know we've thrust ourselves upon you! But we've been through a great deal since then! And all we've been through will remain with us always! It could be the most exciting part of my life. Look, Doctor, we're different people. And now we have a chance to go home. We want to take that chance. Will you help us work that machine?

The Doctor: ...No. No! I will not aid and abet suicide!

Ian: Oh, he's as stubborn as ever!

Vicki: Doctor.

The Doctor: [Trying to avoid her, turns away].. Hmm?

Vicki: Doctor, you've got let them go if they want too. They want to be back in their own time.

The Doctor: Don't you want to go with them, child? Hmm?

Vicki: What for? Why would I want to be back in their time for? I want to be with you! Doctor... You've got to help them.

The Doctor: Don't you realise, child, of the enormous risks?

Vicki: But it's up to them!

Barbara: Hey, Doctor! Where ever you are...

[Ian cuts her off, as people come to investigate the exploding Dalek Time Machine]

[Vicki and the Doctor talking about Barbara and Ian, who had just left in the previous episode]

Vicki: Well, they weren't getting any younger, were they?

The Doctor: Lucky, my dear, that they aren't around to hear you say that. Hm, gracious me, if you think they're old, what do you think of me?

[The Doctor introducing a few rules to new companion Steven Taylor]

The Doctor: Now, my boy, there are two things you can't do. One: Sit there until you get your breath back, and two: Don't call me Doc! Now do I make myself clear?

[The Doctor gives an irritated introduction of the TARDIS to new companion Steven Taylor]

The Doctor: That is the dematerializing control, and that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner; those are the doors; that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me.

The Doctor: What do you mean, "maybe"? What do you think it is, a space helmet for a cow?

The Monk: [Reading a letter from the Doctor] My dear fellow, I'm sure will you excuse me but I didn't want to say goodbye, as you are obviously going to be very busy for some time. He's right there. Just in case you still idea's about your master plan, I've taken precautions to stop your time meddling. How could he stop a Mark 4? Possibly one day in the future, when you've learnt your lesson, I shall return and release you. Release me? Ha! Me? Oh, the old fool. I wonder what he meant by release me? Well, I'll be going.

[But he can't get in. His TARDIS is the same size as the Altar. It's no longer bigger on the inside than the outside]

Jeff Garvey: [in a low voice] I remember now. I must... I must kill... I must kill... I must kill.

[After killing Garvey as he tried to attack Lowery]

Marc Cory: [Pulls a thorn from behind Garveys ear] A Varge thorn.

Lowery: A Varga [stretches hand out to get a closer look]

Marc Cory: Careful! Don't prick yourself with it. Or we'll end up the way Garvey is, and I'd have to kill you.

Marc Cory: I didn't intend to tell you anything. But, since we're stuck on this planet and Garvey's dead. There are some facts you're entitled to know.

Lowery: I can't believe Garvey's dead. We flew together for the last ten years. But now he's dead. And you killed him.

Lowery: Why do you think the Daleks are working here.

Marc Cory: [pulls the Varga thorn from a small case] Because of this! A thorn from a Varga Plant. The thing, is part animal, part vegetable, and looks like a cactus. The poison attacks the brain. Rational thought is replaced by an overwhelming desire to kill. Eventually, the poison seeps through the system, and the victim is gradually transformed into a Varga.

Lowery: What's that got to do with the Daleks?

Marc Cory: The only place in the universe where Varga plants grow naturally, is on the Daleks own planet, Skaro! If the Vargas are here. The Daleks must be too.

Malpha: This is indeed an historic moment in the history of the universe! We six from the outer galaxies, joining with the power from the solar system - the Daleks! The seven of us represent the greatest war force ever assembled! Conquest is assured!

Lowery: [Whimpering] ...Must..kill..

Marc Cory: What?

Lowery: ...kill...kill

Marc Cory: THE VARGA!

Lowery: I'm... sorry. I'm so sorry!

Marc Cory: This is Marc Cory, Special Security Service, reporting from the planet Kembel. The Daleks are planning the complete destruction of our galaxy. Together with the powers of the outer galaxies, a war force is being assembled.

Malpha: Now all is ready. We at this table pledge our allegiance to the Dalek cause. Our armies will reduce the galaxies to ashes. Their people to dust. And Earth we will conquer first. Victory! Victory!

Bret Vyon: I can't sacrifice everything for the sake of that one girl!

Steven: Listen! Without us you wouldn't have got off Kembel at all, and nothing would be worth bothering about!

Bret Vyon: All right, so we all go back together. But without me, I doubt that you would have got this far either.

Steven: Yes, all right, but I won't let you hurt Katarina. We'll head back for Kembel as the Doctor says on the way, we may find a way to get her out of there.

Kirksen: You won't!

Steven: [Katarina reaches for the airlock switch] No, not that one! Katarina!

[Katarina opens the airlock. Katarina and Kirksen are swept into space to their deaths]

Steven: Katarina!

[softly]

Steven: Too late. She pressed the wrong button, Doctor.

The Doctor: She may have wanted to, dear boy. She wanted to save our lives.

Bret Vyon: [awkwardly] It must have been quick.

The Doctor: I hope she's reached her Place of Perfection.

Steven: Yes, but not that way.

The Doctor: She didn't understand. She couldn't understand. She wanted to save our lives. And perhaps the lives of all the other beings of the Solar System. I hope she's found her Perfection. Oh, how I shall always remember her as one of the Daughters of the Gods. Yes, as one of the Daughters of the Gods

[After being whisked away by Molecular Dessemination]

The Doctor: ... The mice couldn't have done that!

Steven: Daleks!

Sara Kingdom: You're right, Doctor. They've come.

Dalek: You are surrounded. You will come with us.

The Doctor: I'm afraid, my friends, that the Daleks have won.

The Doctor: [bristling when a policeman asks if he is a British citizen]: Your ideas are too narrow, too crippled. I am a citizen of the universe, and a gentleman to boot!

Steven: [Steven is upset that the Doctor is celebrating their victory, as he thinks about the three companions killed in this story, in a slightly crying and slightly angry tone] What about Brett?, Katarina?... Sara.

The Doctor: [the Doctor thinks while Steven goes back on board the TARDIS] What a waste. What a terrible waste.

[Without another word he turns and boards the TARDIS and with its usual sound the TARDIS leaves Kembel]

Steven: The girl! The girl who was with me! If you'd brought her with us she needn't have died. But no, you had to leave her there to be slaughtered.

Doctor: Well, it is possible of course she didn't die, and I was right to leave her.

Steven: Possible? Look, how possible? That girl was already hunted by the Catholic guards. If they killed ten thousand how did they spare her? You don't know, do you? You can't say for certain that you weren't responsible for that girl's death.

Doctor: I was not responsible.

Steven: Oh, no. You just sent her back to her aunt's house where the guards were waiting to catch her. I tell you this much, Doctor, wherever this machine of yours lands next, I'm getting off. If your researches have so little regard for human life, then I want no part of it.

The Doctor: My dear Steven, history sometimes gives us a terrible shock, and that is because we don't quite fully understand. Why should we? After all, we're too small to realise its final pattern. Therefore don't try and judge it from where you stand. I was right to do as I did. Yes, that I firmly believe. [Steven leaves the TARDIS] Steven... Even after all this time, he cannot understand. I dare not change the course of history. Well, at least I taught him to take some precautions; he did remember to look at the scanner before he opened the doors. And now, they're all gone. All gone. None of them could understand. Not even my little Susan. Or Vicki. And as for Barbara and Chatterton — Chesterton — they were all too impatient to get back to their own time. And now, Steven. Perhaps I should go home. Back to my own planet. But I can't... I can't...

Steven: What, this place? I mean, you recognise it? What, with all these strange animals and flowers and things?

[Toucan in the trees.]

Steven: Well, you can't have been here before.

Dodo: Yes, I have. It's just outside London. I came here once with the school. It's called Whipsnade

Dodo: Flowers from America. A bird from Africa. A snake from Brazil. And now an elephant from India.

The Doctor: Well then, use it, my child! We must do something about that cold of yours. That reminds me, why are you dressed in these stupid clothes? Have you been footling about in my wardrobe? Is that what it is? What do you think you're playing at, crusades?

The Doctor: Yes, you do, my dear. Now you take care of them because you never know when we might use them. Now, I suggest we take a last look round and we'll get you off to bed.

Dodo: Oh, you're not going to send me home, are you?

The Doctor: Home? Ho, ho! What an idea. I couldn't send you home even if I wanted to.

Dodo: Oh, that's all right, then. I think I'm beginning to enjoy this space travel or whatever it is

The Doctor: No, no, no, dear boy. All this is a spaceship!

Steven: A spaceship?

The Doctor: Yes, exactly!

Dodo: Hey, Doctor? If this is a spaceship what are they?

A group of Monoids appear and circle them]

The Doctor: Well, you did come, my dear, so it's too late to be worry about that. And stop snivelling!

The Toymaker: I'm bored. I love to play games but there's no-one to play against. The beings who call here have no minds, and so they become my toys. But you will become my perpetual opponent. We shall play endless games together, your brain against mine.

The Doctor: Your infantile behaviour... Is beyond a joke.

[The Doctor reaches down to put counter 1 on top of counter 2, to complete his trilogic game. But then hesitates]

The Doctor: ... No, of course I mustn't. You very nearly caught me then, hmmm.

The Toymaker: Make your next move, Doctor. Make your move.

The Doctor: But if I do. This place vanishes, hmmm?

The Toymaker: ... And then you have won completely...

The Doctor: ... And *if* this place vanishes, then the TARDIS, and the rest of us, will vanish also.

The Toymaker: Correct. That is the price of success. Make your last move, Doctor. Make your *last* move.

Kate: Aw for Pete's sake, Doc, tell 'em you're Holliday! You can take on all four of 'em any time.

The Doctor: Yes, I'm sorry, gentleman, but this is Holliday's young girlfriend, and she's only lying to protect him. Now, as I've already told you about this gun.

[Seth's revolver is shot from his hand and he clutches his wrist in pain. Nobody is more surprised than the Doctor who was merely waving the gun by way of explanation. But Kate is quick to take advantage of the confusion and produces her own weapon.]

Kate: Okay, don't try it, fellas. Nice shooting, Doc, but ya should have got him between the eyes.

The Doctor: Between the who?

Kate: The eyes.

The Doctor: Oh, my dear young lady, I, I, I, I...

Kate: Kill the next one that moves.

The Doctor: Yes, yes, quite so, quite so. Very good idea. Excellent. Well, you heard. Steven, get their guns!

[Steven is being forced to play a tune on the piano]

Steven: Let's hope the piano knows it.

The Doctor: He gave me a gun, he extracted my tooth. What more do you want?

Holliday: I promised to take you back safe home and I will do so in my own good time.

[Dodo grabs a gun from the dressing table and aims it unsteadily.]

Dodo: We're leaving now.

Holliday: What're you attempting to do with that there offensive weapon?

The following episodes occurred after the First Doctor's era had officially ended (in the eras of the Third Doctor, the Fifth Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor respectively) and thus are not technically part of this Doctor's era. As they are all quotes involving the First Doctor, however, they are included here for the sake of completeness.

This was originally from Season 2, Episode 9, Flashpoint (26 Dec. 1964)

The First Doctor: One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

The First Doctor[having tricked Borusa into accepting Rassilon's offer of immortality, thus condemning him to eternity as a living statue]: I suddenly realised what the old proverb meant: "To lose is to win, and he who wins shall lose." It was all part of Rassilon's trap to find out who wanted immortality and put him out of the way. He knew very well that immortality was a curse. Not a blessing.

The First Doctor[to the Fifth Doctor]: You did quite well. Quite well. Hm. It's reassuring to know that my future is in safe hands.

Twelfth Doctor: Well, there's a few false starts, but you get there in the end.

First Doctor: [stammering] I thought...

Twelfth Doctor: What?

First Doctor: Well, I assumed I'd get... younger.

Twelfth Doctor: I AM younger!!

First Doctor: There is good and there is evil. I left Gallifrey to answer a question of my own. By any analysis, evil should always win. Good is not a practical survival strategy - it requires loyalty, self-sacrifice and love. And so, why does good prevail? What keeps the balance between good and evil in this appalling universe? Is there some kind of logic? Some mysterious force?

The First Doctor: [Last words in his 1st incarnation]: Well then. Here we go! The long way round.

Captain: Who are you people?

First Doctor: I am the Doctor, and this is my

Twelfth Doctor: It's complicated. Actually, I am also

First Doctor: My nurse.

Twelfth Doctor: Excuse me?

First Doctor I realise that seems a little improbable.

Twelfth Doctor: Well, yes.

First Doctor: Because he's a man.

Twelfth Doctor: What?

First Doctor: Older gentlemen, like women, can be put to use.

Twelfth Doctor: You can't, you, you, you can't say things like that.

First Doctor: Can't I? Says who?

Twelfth Doctor: Just about everyone you're going to meet for the rest of your life.

First Doctor: It appears to have been played quite recently. It's the only thing here that's been cleaned. Yes, in fact this whole place could do with a good dusting. Obviously Polly isn't around any more.

Twelfth Doctor: Please, please. Please stop saying things like that.

Captain: Quite beautiful, really, isn't she?

Bill; Yeah, if you like ladies made of glass.

First Doctor: Well, aren't all ladies made of glass, in a way? (laughs)

Captain: (laughs) Very good, sir, very good.

Bill: Are we now?

First Doctor: Oh, my dear. I hope it doesn't offend you to know that I have some experience of the er, fairer sex.
